Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: 2.0.0 beta 5 Status: Open Resolution: None >Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Fabian (fgo_gl) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: ICQ password broken after changing it (pw > 8 chars) Initial Comment: Hi, unfortunately I have to report a serious bug in Gaim. When changing your ICQ password and your desired new password is longer than eight chars, it will become unusable. You won't be able to login with your new password! I could reproduce this bug with another created account after I've locked myself out... I've tried to capture the packet with the password change request, but up to now I wasn't able to convert it back to plain text information. In Bug 487645 there might be additional information. One thing for sure: ICQ passwords may just be 8 characters long. Gaim should handle that... Best regards, Fabian. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Fabian (fgo_gl) Date: 2007-03-02 12:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1630077 Originator: YES Hi, after trying to debug with gdb I got some new information: If the password is longer than eight characters, you can use the first eight characters for logging in. The whole password string will be sent to the ICQ server, but only the length passwdlen in aim_icq_changepasswd() --> aimbs_putle16(&fr->data, passwdlen+1); will be interepreted. I think the best solution for this problem would be limiting the input field for the new passwords to 8 characters when they are used in an ICQish context. It seems I did enter garbage for my new password, so my old account is lost...:( But really strange about that is, that the same thing happened with another account I created for getting to know how my password was corrupted and with a third account everything is working fine... Any ideas?
